<br>Yep I use Origin.&nbsp;&nbsp;What's up?<br><br>Bummer news on IB.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was hoping the almost simultaneous release of the I7 3820 and the IB processors would drive down the market price of the 2600K parts&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="http://forums.overcl...efault/sad.gif" class="bbc_emoticon" alt=""><br><br>I need one, soon.<br>

<br><br>Well done you have won an unknown amount discount for the store that I got from the useless support at EA's Live Chat... PM me to receive it... don't expect much...

This upsets me but look on the bright side, you can take the extra time to wait for sales on the equipment you need.

It's best to keep your eye out and look at all the sales everyday cause stuff sells out fast on sale. My brother got 2x 2tb hitachi drives 7.2k rpm for 110 each later that same night like 8 hours later i go to order 1 for myself and it's sold out.

I am not sure this is all that big of a deal. What I mean is all the numbers we have seen suggest that this is essentially the existing i5/i7 chips with better onboard graphics. While this might be nice for new budget PC builds, lets face it for most of us the onboard is not used. With this being the case there is likely going to be marginal advantages to Ivy Bridge for those of us already running Sandy Bridge.I will of course reserve final judgement until i can actually get my hands on a chip but I think we are going to find that the 2500K continues to show what an incredible chip it is.
